Denny Paul Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Hello all, Right now I’m in a dilemma. I don’t know if I should buy a Tesla now or if I should wait for announcements to see if something juicier comes out for 2020. What is the typical timeline that is roughly expected starting with a new wheel being announced, to its production, to being available for sale by manufacturers or from bigger dealers (like ewheels)? If I have to wait several months, I may as well get a Tesla now, and sell it when/if I am enticed by something better down the road. Any insight or advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Some new variations or refreshes of wheels come out very quickly. Nikola 100v 1800Wh with 21700 cells. New 18XL. New batch of 16X. MSX 100v 2200Wh with 21700 cells. MSX 100v 1865/1845Wh with 18650 cells. etc The only rumour we have circulating now is regarding a new wheel from Inmotion. The Tesla is a very safe bet and a great well. One of the most attractive things about it is the price and if you buy it from AliExpress it is quite cheap. Then you can pocket the extra money for the next wheel that comes out. It took months for the Nikola 84v to be "safe" to ride. Same for the 16X except it's still hardly safe for most people. So a new wheel is not just a new wheel but also first batch including all first batch problems. The way things look right now... maybe someone will release a new wheel by summer 2020. Maybe.

RockyTop Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Something to keep in mind. You might not want the first edition of a new wheel. They tend to have problems that are fixed in later models. Or at least a better version comes out soon after. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanghamP Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Since you already have a few 14 inchers, then an 18 incher is about as different from what you already have. While there's a lot of overlap between a 14 and 16, there's very little between a 14 and 18, and so when you need to choose a wheel for a particular ride then there's no doubt which one to ride. In my opinion, you can get A. A single 16 incher like Tesla that does everything ok. B. A 14 incher and an 18 incher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
